"I am kind and soft, but can sometimes be decisive, being quite and gentle doesn't make me a mere footstalk to be rubbished."

"I want to talk to the traditional rulers, while we have warned them severally not to allow non-indigenes to settle in the state, their persistent refusal to maintain this notice is giving a great deal of cause for worry to me," the governor added.
